Agenda/Notes:

  • Evaluation spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J7-aGnSMnRQaV4MCmHW_Vr4gzEFn-S7v759XbYl-DUY/edit?usp=sharing
    • tech questions sometimes hard to answer definitively; might need more info
    • Josh Gum (Oregon State) will be at LDCX and interested in working on this at code level - anyone else going to be there?
      • Ryan Wick, Julie H, Arwen, 3-4 devs from NU, Drew and Jason from WGBH
    • UVA solution (U Mich based on this)
      • not sure of effect on Fedora data
      • Sufia 7.4 (not Hyrax)
        • records are also in library catalog and does retain an order
        • Google searching does not retain order, however (screen shots)
        • so maybe internal UVA library systems retain order but not external systems
      • does effect Solr - telling Solr how to sort
      • not sure if it is a feature (can be turned on/off)
      • RDF-based but not sure if local URI or storing elsewhere
        • only storing text for values, not storing URIs
      • ORCIDs showing but not sure if those are stored or brought in dynamically
      • UVA creating objects for people
    • UMich solution
      • UVA does both ordered string helper and separate model per person as well; have 2 different things happening
      • UMich - just uses ordered string helper, no separate model for creators
      • lots of files touched
      • ordered field is separate predicate (mods:name), used for Solr display
      • Hyrax
      • 2 examples, one showing all 3 names and then property with 3 names ordered; second example shows 1 author and then property with that name and 2 others ordered; there is mismatch and this could be problem that these get out of sync
      • config option to turn on/off
      • added to collection model for creators of collections and can also order for creators for works
      • only doing this for creator
      • ordering is not preserved for external/Google Scholar view
    • Penn State
      • similar to UVA
      • local predicate called creatorList - delimited list of text
      • text only
      • not sure about Fedora
      • Google Scholar meta tags are not ordered
      • RDF based with local predicate
      • Sufia - only one script edited
      • looking at using hydra-pcdm for ordered members but hasn’t happened yet
    • Durham
      • similar to everyone else’s
      • no new predicate for everything ordered
      • individual values are wrapped with order number and code unwraps them and turns them into array based on parsed order number
      • Fedora data effected - thing being stored isn’t just value, it’s wrapped with order info
      • not sure if it is unwrapped and parsed before Solr or after Solr
      • Sufia
      • couldn’t see in Google Scholar but depends where value comes from - could be unwrapped but not sure GS would understand ordering info
      • not sure if it would conflict with anything Hyrax
      • more complicated than new predicate
      • not a feature to turn on/off
      • only text values
      • names and related objects that need to be ordered
      • related objects ordering is similar to how UVA names are ordered with property that has text list
      • each contributor is a new object and each time there is a contribution, there’s a new object (same person can have multiple objects)
      • pcdm ordering might be something to use for ordering related objects but not sure if this is happening
    • Are we done evaluating?
      • boils down to 2 methods
      • objects for people that are then ordered for the digital object or simple property that orders things using text only
      • 3rd hypothetical method using PCDM ordered members but no one seems to have that working yet, it just seems possible
    • Do we have enough info?
  • Comparison discussion (if ready)
    • see notes under “Are we done evaluating?"
  • Next steps and schedule next meeting

    • schedule for 3-4 weeks from today and see how Google doc summaries are coming along

    • see if we can make recommendation decision at next meeting
